It is interesting how some colleges do have super deals for some models.

But in every case, they will offer software via an educational site license. For example: Office XP Pro for $25!
Indeed, that is why I am trying to locate the best deal for hardware and software. It is amazing how it varies from one school to another. Harvard, for instance, offers a 43% discount on Lenovo/IBM computers, but Stanford is happy to sell a prices that seem to be higher than the regular prices available to anyone. This is not much different from what happens on the Claremont campus where some schools have amazing deals while others have ... nothing!

In the same vein, I do not think that the pricing for software at Stanford is as competitive as NMD's deal.
